We need a Democrat to go on the air with "THE VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED AND COUNTED AND COUNTED!"

"HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO BE EXPECTED TO COUNT THE VOTES?!?"

The repukes did that in 2000. They did everything they could to shut down a justifiable re-count.

We need to shut down these stupid, time-and-money-wasting lawsuits.

Use their own tactics against them...

Conflict fatigue in the Trump Era.

My wife and I used to enjoy a number of shows that were pretty violent, with lots of conflict, and even some soul-crushing pessimism. "The Boys" is a good example. There are a few others.

But we just can't get ourselves to start watching again.

"The Boys" is well into its second season, and we haven't cracked an episode yet.

We checked out of "Utopia" after only an episode and a half. Just too damned violent and pointlessly sick.

We are re-binging "The Great British Baking Show" right now.

It's about all we can stand on TV right now.

Waiting for this ugly Saison d'Enfer in America to be over...

"Votes That Are Not For Trump Are Illegal." Nothing new here.

Didn't the wording of Bush vs Gore 2000 include a phrase explaining the decision in favor of George W. Bush was because to decide against him would "materially harm the Bush Presidential Campaign effort"?

Saturday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

I love you all...

Good morning! I'm officially off call now. Long week.

To all the sweet, wonderful Loungers asking where I went, I had to refrain from drinking for the last seven nights.

Drinking thread here in the Lounge tonight.

Hope to see you there.

I love you all...

Weird thought, but I don't want President Biden to normalize normality.

If people get used to having a competent, dutiful, patriotic, compassionate, empathetic President again, it may motivate some of the Trump cult's craphounds to want to "shake things up" again. And we all know that went last time...

I want people to love having a 'normal' President for four years so much that they want another four years of it.

Dear Trump supporters: I have a confession to make.

I didn't really have a problem with Trump.

I just voted for Joe Biden to "shake things up".

If that sounds stupid to you, imagine how stupid you sounded to us back in 2016 when you told us that's why you voted for Trump.

Feeling pretty shaken now?...

Trump crashed & burned his re-election, the way he crashed & burned all his businesses.

But you can't declare bankruptcy in an election. All you can do is concede. And he's not going to do that.

Someone wave some dollar bills in his face, and lead him by the nose out of the White House...

Remember Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys?



Think they will have a song for Joe Biden?
